Just a thought: bring back Danny Green? If he's not injured this time and he did seem well liked in his time in Memphis in terms of having that older head.
It's time to WIN
Great conversation. I believe this is the summer for Laravia or Zaire to show who wants to be our starting 3. Otherwise, it’s slim pickings in the free agency market to fill that spot
Calling it now…a 3 team deal for a starting 3 is coming this summer!!!!
Of Joe chose the football guy 😂 but in all honesty I think Laravia and Roddy will be here because of their floors and their ceilings but I also think Zairie and Konchar will both not be here next year and if we strike out in free agency I rather Roddy start over Zairie and Laravia
Williams has to bulk up he’s way to skinny. Aldama will make the biggest leap but Jackson’s ceiling is mvp stuff but he’s got to learn post moves , maybe he needs to have dream teach him some. Plus being 7’ ain’t helping if you shoot a shot that’s to low
Santi needs to Bulk a lil, but he and JJJ are the frontcourt of the future….
Jaren gotta get a stronger base and core. Takes entirely too long to get position in the post.
Ja needs to get a stop and shoot mid range jumper. He can't force his way to the rim, all the time. Or improving his defense to the "solid" level.
JJJ is a border line all star. The problem with JJJ still is he is inconsistent. He is a terrible rebounder for a 7 footer. His is not a consistent shooter in the mid range and his shot style is difficult to execute and easily gets blocked by bigger defenders. JJJ strength is the post shooting, blocking shots, and average 3pt shooter. JJJ wants to shoot 3's more than going to the paint. Also he will take dumb fouls. Sorry but this foul situation goes all the back from his college days. I don't think he can correct this. Cause you still see him take dumb fouls even if his fouls are down. I've said this hundred times, trade JJJ. You will get a better all star player back in return.
We might as well trade Jake n Zaire
Laravia, Roddy, and Tillman have limited skill sets and are bench players or trade bait at best. Loften is the only potential impact player that has the potential to dominate the boards and paint scoring!
When you mention JJJ being dominant.
Just look at the competition he is facing.
AD made him look like a chump.
Jaren is talented but mentally he has a lot to be desired. In the playoffs when teams get physical with Jaren he shrinks big time. Fact that he only shot 28% from three in the playoffs was extremely disappointing. Personally I don't think Jaren will ever be consistent in the playoffs especially in crucial road games..he just doesn't have it in him mentally. 24:20 Jake LaRavia only shot 39% from the field, 34% from three, and 77% from the free throw line. Where did this false narrative get started that he can shoot?? In two years both Ziarie Williams and Jake LaRavia will be out of the league.
Why move Jake? Your not going to get anybody of substance
We gotta get rid of konchar tyus Dillon brooks sign and trade and 4 picks for a boarder line all star 3 and D and give the young guys then bench minutes
When I saw they were looking for another beat writer I thought DC was leaving and got really sad lol
